As far as has been given us to know, it is hashed over in this thread here: http://www.raybradbury.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000977.html which contains links to articles on the subject.

Doug, a useful post - but in the context of this thread it should be made clear that Bradbury had no connection to either "The Time Element" (first Twilight Zone) or "Where Is Everybody?" (first proper TZ).

Amazing to see ANOTHER New Zealander with something important in their sig. Also amazing that they live in Cambridge, Massachussets. How kind to give their full street address, in case we want to visit or write.
